“Oh right, I forgot to bring the wheelchair out first. Miss Su, go to the back of the car and get the wheelchair.”
Su Lin pursed her mouth. This bastard dared to give me an order! However, remembering that Ling Chen was still carrying onto Nanrong Wanqing and that a guest was present, she did not dare to delay, running to the trunk of the car.
“My friend, you can pass Wanqing over to me.”
Zhu Hong strode forward, reaching out to take over Nanrong Wanqing’s petite frame, but Ling Chen took a step back and smiled. “You are a guest, how could I possibly let you do such a rough job?”
At this moment, the door of the rear seat opened, and Xiao Hua jumped out of it.
Looking at the cute little girl that seemed as adorable as a jade carving, Zhu Hong’s eyes flickered imperceptibly with a sudden gleam. However, a moment later, he quickly masked the emotions in his eyes, and with a gentle smile still on his face, he asked, “Wanqing, who is this little girl? ”
“She’s called Xiao Hua. She’s Ling Chen’s friend.”
As they spoke, Su Lin had retrieved the wheelchair. Ling Chen gently lowered Nanrong Wanqing’s body before pushing the wheelchair into the villa.
But at that moment, Nanrong Wanqing suddenly spoke, “Ling Chen, have you forgotten what I said before?”
Hearing her words, Ling Chen rolled his eyes, immediately understanding her intentions. He let go of the wheelchair with a smile, and said, “Miss Su, you can bring the Chairwoman in.”
“I’ll do it.”
Zhu Hong walked forward with a giant stride. He took the initiative to take over the wheelchair, proceeding to push Nanrong Wanqing into the room. Su Lin gave Ling Chen an evil eye before following behind the other two, leaving only Ling Chen and Xiaohua outside.
“Big Brother, why didn’t you go in together with them?”
“Big Brother wants to as well, but they don’t want me to follow them.”
Just now Nanrong Wanqing reminded him of her three commandments. The most important one was that if a guest comes to visit, he must avoid them at all cost. Since the rules were set in place, he certainly would not go against them.
“Little lass, let’s go, I’ll take you back.”
“Big Brother, Can… Can we have something to eat first? Xiao Hua is hungry.”
Looking at her drooling, Ling Chen smiled and took her hand: “Okay, I’ll take you to fight against capitalistic tyrants.” He then took Xiaohua directly to Nanrong Hao’s villa.
Although Nanrong Hao usually did not work, he would not stray about at night and would stay at home obediently. He did not dare to go out wilfully. Apparently, this was what Nanrong Wanqing wanted; to prevent Nanrong Hao from fooling around with random hooligans outside, he was thus forbidden to go out at night.
Nanrong Hao could be said to be rather pitiful to have such an overbearing sister.
Seeing that Ling Chen had already driven over with Xiaohua, Nanrong Hao did not dare to dally and quickly urged his housekeeper to prepare some food. A short while later, a bowl of steaming noodles was served in front of Xiaohua, accompanied by a few exquisite appetizers.
Seeing Xiao Hua wolfing down the food ravenously, Ling Chen smiled and patted her tiny head. “Take your time and eat slowly. There’s plenty to go about.”
“Bro Chen, where did you abduct such a cute little girl from?”
“Fuck you, I’m not a human trafficker. This is my friend’s sister. Oh, Lil Hao, your elder sister has guests over, did you know about it?”
“How can I not know? Before Big Sis came back, he already came here to say hello to me.”
“You know him?”
Nanrong Hao nodded. “I guess you can say we know each other, but I’m honestly not very familiar with him. I haven’t really interacted with him.” Having said that, he glanced at Ling Chen and teased, “Bro Chen, why? Are you feeling a sense of crisis now? ”
“What sense of crisis?”
“The man named Zhu Hong has an excellent relationship with my elder sister. They have been together since childhood and are practically childhood sweethearts. For some reason, Zhu Hong went abroad and lost contact with my elder sister. It was only today when we knew he returned. Come to think of it, they haven’t seen each other for four or five years. Bro Chen, my elder sister’s impeccably high standards are a well-known thing, very few men can even enter her eyes. However, those of us who are around her actually know that it’s not that she has impossibly high expectations, but rather there is already someone in her heart. She has always been looking forward to Zhu Hong’s return. ”
So, it was like this.
After listening to Nanrong Hao’s words, Ling Chen had a better general understanding of the relationship between Nanrong Wanqing and Zhu Hong. It was no wonder that when Nanrong Wanqing saw Zhu Hong just now, she showed the rare shyness of a young girl.
“Lil Hao, what does Zhu Hong do?”
“I’ve talked to him a few times before and he said that he runs a pharmaceutical company abroad and plans to expand his business domestically. Bro Chen, don’t be too discouraged, people will always change. After all, they have not seen each other for four or five years. It’s hard to guarantee that their relationship has no cracks. In that time, if you take advantage of it and swoop in, you will surely capture my sister’s heart.”
Ling Chen looked at him with a strange look: “I’m really starting to doubt whether you are your elder sister’s brother or not.”
Nanrong Hao hurriedly added, “Bro Chen, what kind of words are you saying? Am I not treating you as a family member, right now? There is an old saying that describes it well, one doesn’t let their own fertile water flow into others’ fields. Besides, I don’t have any goodwill towards Zhu Hong. If I had to pick someone between you and him as my brother-in-law, I would definitely choose you. ”
Hearing his words, Ling Chen broke into a wide grin. The boy’s mouth could really speak well. However, jokes aside, although he lived in the Nanrong house, he had not forgotten his identity. As a bodyguard, his primary responsibility was to ensure Nanrong Wanqing’s safety. As for Nanrong Wanqing’s private life, he did not want to pry too much.
At this moment, in the white villa.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Nanrong Wanqing looked at the man whom she had been separated from for several years with her eyes shining. Every woman dreamt of their Prince Charming riding in on his white horse and bringing them away. A man like Zhu Hong who was both elegant and handsome in appearance was undoubtedly the perfect object of fantasy.
After not seeing him for a few years, she always thought that if the two met again, she would definitely break into tears.
But yet when Zhu Hong appeared in front of her, she did not have the impulse to cry. She did not know why, perhaps the few years of separation has caused the relationship between the two to fade, or it may have been because they had both matured. She was no longer the little girl who liked to chase after Zhu Hong back when she was a child. After a brief moment of elation, her heart gradually restored its inner calm.
Looking at Nanrong Wanqing’s lower body, which was covered with a blanket, guilt flooded Zhu Hong’s eyes. “Wanqing, I’m sorry. I couldn’t stay beside you when you had a car accident, I didn’t know it until later. I wanted to rush back to see you, but I simply couldn’t get away. Sorry!”
“It doesn’t matter, it’s all in the past now. How long are you planning to stay in Donghai City this time?”
“Our company plans to establish a branch office in Donghai City, which I will be in charge of, I will definitely be here for a long time. Wanqing, it is my fault that I have not contacted you for so many years. I will definitely make up for the time I owe you in the future. Oh right, this is a gift I brought back from abroad specially for you. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Hong took out a delicate red box from his pocket, which was about the size of a palm, and presented the gift to Nanrong Wanqing with both hands.
